The best thing about Google Computer Engine is the it's very fast compare to other cloud provider.

So, when I am using azure or AWS service whenever I launch a service it will take 1 or 2 minute to create and functions but in Google compute Engine. Whenever I launch a service it will immediately available for me with 10 or 15 seconds.

That's is the best thing which I like about Google Compute Engine
